It’s a girl for Alexandra
Breckenridge!
The “This Is Us” star
welcomed a daughter named Billie Breckenridge Hooper on Wednesday, Dec. 6,
according to PEOPLE. The newborn weighed 7 lbs., 13 oz. and measured 20 inches
long.
This is the actress’ second child with husband Casey Neil
Cooper. The couple also has a 1-year-old son
named Jack.
The second-time mom told PEOPLE,
“We are so excited to have a boy and a girl! Billie is such a sweet baby
girl and Jack is such social boy, with them only being 15 months apart they
will always have a friend to play with.”
Breckenridge, who plays Kevin
Pearson’s ex-wife Sophie on the NBC hit, announced her second pregnancy on
Instagram in August. “We made another one!! Baby Breckenridge Hooper
coming this winter 🌹❤💋,” she
captioned the pic while showing off her baby bump.
However, the 35-year-old actress
feared the pregnancy announcement would get her axed from the show. “I was
like, ‘I’m going to get fired,'” she told US Weekly. “I was scared to
tell them because I thought it would cause issues for production.”
But “This Is Us” creator
Dan Fogelman couldn’t have been happier about Breckenridge’s news. “I
called Dan and said, ‘I’m sorry. I’m pregnant,'” she recalled. “He
was just like, ‘Oh, that’s amazing! Congratulations!’ He’s so nice.”
Congrats to the happy family!
